(Translated by Google) Located in the courtyard of the Blue Mosque, this monumental stone-chipped part of the hippodrome was the most glorious structure of the city at the time of this modest seat. The stone seat, which is a part of the seating rows, continues to follow the square today as a witness of the events of At Square for about 1800 years. The events witnessed by the stone seat are not counted. During the periods of Hippodrome; the demonstrations against wild animals, horse carriage races, fierce struggles between blues and greens, the slaughter of tens of thousands of rebels in the Nika Rebellion, the death of the deposed emperor Andonicos by brutal torture for days, the great plunder of Latin occupation sergilen a long period when he can only listen to what is happening in the square above him; The conquest of Istanbul and the arrival of Fatih, the janissary revolts, the lifted boilers, the coves hanging on the trees, the splendid palace weddings, the big celebrations, the enthusiasm of the Revolution of 1908, the British invasion, the big Sultanahmet rallies against the occupations, and the salvation ve and the stone seat again. despite all his stories to tell, he continues to witness history silently under a tree in the courtyard of the Blue Mosque without anyone knowing. (Original) Sultanahmet Camii’nin avlusunda bulunan, yekpare taştan yontma bu mütevazı koltuk zamanında şehrin en ihtişamlı yapısı olan Hipodrom’un bir parçasıydı. Seyirci oturma sıralarının bir parçası olan taş koltuk yaklaşık 1800 yıldır At Meydanı’nında yaşananların tanığı olarak bugün hala meydanı izlemeye devam etmektedir. Taş koltuğun tanıklık ettiği olaylar saymakla bitmez. Hipodrom’da yer aldığı dönemlerde; vahşi hayvanlara karşı sergilenen gösteriler, at arabası yarışları, Maviler ve Yeşiller arasındaki kıyasıya mücadeleler, Nika İsyanı’nda on binlerce isyancının kılıçtan geçirilmesi, devrik imparator I. Andonikos’un günlerce süren acımasız işkencelerle öldürülmesi, Latin işgalindeki büyük yağma… Ardından toprak altında geçen ve sadece üstündeki meydanda gerçekleşenleri dinleyebildiği uzun bir dönem; İstanbul’un fethi ve Fatih’in gelişi, yeniçeri isyanları, kaldırılan kazanlar, ağaçlara asılan kelleler, görkemli saray düğünleri, büyük kutlamalar, 1908 Devrimi’nin coşkusu, İngiliz işgali, işgallere karşı büyük Sultanahmet mitingleri ve kurtuluş… derken taş koltuk tekrar gün yüzüne çıktı, anlatacak onca hikayesine rağmen bugün kimsenin haberi olmaksızın Sultanahmet Camii’nin avlusundaki bir ağacın altında sessizce tarihe tanıklığa devam etmekte.

There are various opinions here, they comment on different things, and the fact that the designation indicates the inner courtyard of the Blue Mosque and not the designation is also added to this. Last year, 100,000 people watched the chariot races and horse races at the hippodrome. The stone chairs themselves are no longer there, they were carried away by the constructions of later ages, which have now also become museums. The space is spectacular for photography.

2023/09/17 📌Blue MosqueBlue Mosque The full name of the Blue Mosque is Sultanahmet Camii In addition to the holy land of Mecca Generally, mosques do not have so many minarets (called minarets). But the Blue Mosque has six minarets According to legend, when Ottoman Sultan Ahmed I built the mosque Originally I wanted to paint the bottom of the minaret a unique gold color But the architect misunderstood that six minarets were to be built. That's why this error occurred The interior decoration uses more than 20,000 pieces shipped from Iznik The most luxurious and difficult-to-make blue pattern tiles at the time In addition to creating a more low-key and luxurious atmosphere for the entire mosque It also gave the Sultan Ahmed Mosque the nickname "Blue Mosque" Mosque dress code: Men and women are not allowed to wear shorts, skirts, spaghetti straps, or bare shoulders or backs. Girls should wear headscarves to cover their hair You can use scarves, scarves, or hooded jackets~ You have to take off your shoes before entering and leave them outside The carpet smell in the mosque should be as strong as possible I can't imagine lying on it...the smell of my feet is so strong that I would retching!

Nice The Hippodrome of Constantinople (Greek: Ἱππόδρομος τῆς Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, romanized: Hippódromos tēs Kōnstantinoupóleōs, Latin: Circus Maximus Constantinopolitanus, Turkish: Hipodrom or Sultanahmet Meydanı) was a circus that was the sporting and social centre of Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. Today it is a square named Sultanahmet Meydanı (Sultan Ahmet Square) in the Turkish city of Istanbul, with a few fragments of the original structure surviving The word hippodrome comes from the Greek hippos (ἵππος), horse, and dromos (δρόμος), path or way. For this reason, it is sometimes also called Atmeydanı ("Horse Square") in Turkish. Horse racing and chariot racing were popular pastimes in the ancient world and hippodromes were common features of Greek cities in the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras. Thanks 😘

Check the prayer times before going there on Friday. Visitors not allowed during those prayer times. A pity that i cannot wait two hours to just see inside.

(Translated by Google) The Hippodrome was the horse racing track in ancient Constantinople. The Roman counterpart to the hippodrome was the Circus Maximus. Emperor Constantine organized the new construction (330 AD) of the hippodrome. With a length of 429 meters and a width of 119 meters it was more than impressive. It could seat about 100,000 people. Although almost nothing has been preserved today, the historical length of the racecourse has been made visible by means of stone paving. At the same place today in the city of Istanbul is Sultan Ahmet Square. (Original) Das Hippodrom war die Pferderennbahn im antiken Konstantinopel. Das römische Pendant zum Hippodrom ist der Circus Maximus gewesen. Kaiser Konstantin organisierte den Neubau(330 n.chr.), des Hippodroms. Mit einer Länge von 429 Metern und eine Weite von 119 Metern war es mehr als imposant. Es bot Platz für etwa 100.000 Menschen. Obwohl heute fast nichts mehr erhalten ist, hat man die historische Länge der Pferderennbahn mittels einer Steinpflasterung sichtbar gemacht. An derselben Stelle liegt heute in der Stadt Istanbul der Sultan-Ahmet-Platz.

Nice place. A lot of history here. It is free to see. You can book a tour guide if you want to know in detail about the rich history. It is right beside the Blue Mosque.

Sayın Karahanlı'nın cesedi burada bulunmuştur. Adli makamlar olayı gasp olarak değerlendirseler de, Mason Locası tarafından öldürüldüğü apaçık ortadadır...

(Translated by Google) Very little is known about the Obelisco de Piedra with which the Hippodrome walk ends. Only that it dates from the 4th century and was crowned by a bronze pineapple until the 9th century fell due to an earthquake. Constantine VII, in the 10th century, covered it in gilded bronze, but it was torn off in the 13th century Christian Crusade The racecourse is usually associated with the glory days of Constantinople when it was the imperial capital, however, the monument predates that date. The first racecourse was built when the city was still called Byzantium, being a provincial city of moderate importance (Original) Se sabe muy poco del Obelisco de Piedra con el que finaliza el paseo del Hipódromo. Sólo que data del siglo IV y que lo coronaba una piña de bronce hasta que en el siglo IX cayó a causa de un terremoto. Constantino VII, en el siglo X, lo recubrió de bronce dorado, pero éste fue arrancado en la Cruzada Cristiana del siglo XIII El hipódromo suele ser asociado a los días de gloria de Constantinopla cuando era la capital imperial, sin embargo, el monumento es anterior a esa fecha. El primer hipódromo se construyó cuando la ciudad aún se llamaba Bizancio, siendo una ciudad provincial de moderada importancia

(Translated by Google) It has an interesting name. In fact, when you say "Stone seat", people look for a seat to sit on. But there is no such place. Stone armchair is just the name of this stone on which there are many human figures. This historical stone, one of the symbols of Istanbul, is protected with due care and attention. (Original) Enteresan bir ismi var. Aslında "Taş koltuk" deddiğinde, insanlar oturabilecekleri bir koltuk arar. Ama böyle bir yer yok. Taş koltuk, yalnızca üzerinde birçok insan fgürünün bulunduğu bu taşın ismi. İstanbul'un simgelerinden birisi olan bu tarihi taş, gereken özen ve ihtimam ile korunuyor.
